A129176 Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Dyck words of length 2n having k inversions (n>=0, k>=0). A Catalan word of length 2n is a word of n 0's and n 1's for which no initial segment contains more 1's than 0's. 1

COMMENTS

Representing a Dyck word p of length 2n as a superdiagonal Dyck path p', the number of inversions of p is equal to the area between p' and the path that corresponds to the Dyck word 0^n 1^n. Row n has 1+n(n-1)/2 terms. Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108). Alternating row sums for n>=1 are the Catalan numbers alternated with 0's (A097331). Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=0)=A029760(n-2). A modified form of A129182 (area under Dyck paths).

This is also the number of Catalan paths of length n and area k. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 28 2011

Comment from Alford Arnold, Jan 29 2008: This triangle gives the partial sums of the following triangle:

1

.1

....2...1

........2...3...3...1

............2...2...6...7...6...4...1

................2...2...4...8..12..15..17..14..10...5...1

etc.

FORMULA

The row generating polynomials P[n]=P[n](t) satisfy P[0]=1, P[n+1]=Sum(t^((i+1)(n-i))P[i]P[n-i],i=0..n).

EXAMPLE

T(4,5)=3 because we have 01010011, 01001101 and 00110101.

MAPLE

P[0]:=1: for n from 0 to 8 do P[n+1]:=sort(expand(sum(t^((i+1)*(n-i))*P[i]*P[n-i], i=0..n))) od: for n from 1 to 9 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j=0..n*(n-1)/2) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
